Power redundancy is the backup system for the power supply used in
case the primary sources of power go offline. The redundant power
supply may include generators, an auxiliary power supply line, and
battery backups. Geographical redundancy is achieved by installing
redundant systems in different locations to prevent the failure of
network system as a result of occurrence of natural disasters.
Hardware backup system is a redundancy mechanism is applied by
the installation of separate servers to mitigate on the effect of failure
as a result of physical damages of the primary servers (Cristian, F,
56-78.). Lastly, pathway redundancy is achieved by the installation of
different network nodes. A network may have both the wired and
wireless connections. In such a system, if one medium gets damaged,
the other medium takes over.
